My first Konad.



In honor of the cooler weather here in the desert (which is still in the 80s and 90s so far) I decided to do a fall inspired mani. I had finally received my Konad stamper and first Monster Bundle so I used a leaf pattern.

I did think it turned out pretty neat. I liked that it worked even with using more than one color. I will have to spend some time figuring out the best polishes to stamp with since some don't show well.

The downside of using this method, to me, is that I felt like I was cheating. I feel silly saying it, really, but it just seemed too easy. Doing tape manicures definitely takes more time and the only time I really put into this was waiting for my polish to dry. I actually haven't even used the Konad or Monster Bundles since this manicure but I haven't voted it out. I just need to do some more work with it and be happy for an "easy to use but looks complicated" manicure.

Showing my school spirit.


The Friday night I was in Houston, we went to watch Laura's daughter, Kelsey, cheer at her high school football game. In honor of the mustangs, I wanted a manicure that matched the school colors. I got inspiration from Kelsey's cheerleading uniform so I went with maroon nails with gold accents.


Go mustangs!
